AEAC Video - Omega Trail Charger 4,500 PSI LIQUID COOLED - FULL REVIEW

Hi Steve,
If I'm not misinterpreting a comment in one of your recent videos, you suggest that hand pumping presents unique challenges related to HPA moisture control, possibly more so than self-powered pumping methods. Could you please elaborate on this topic?
Due to physical limitations, up to this point, I've purchased only air guns rated for 3000 psi or lower fill pressures. Even so, I'm rarely able fill air reservoirs to their maximum pressure ratings, even on my air guns with lower maximums. Is this moisture issue with hand pumping as significant at lower fill pressures?
I've also noticed a gradual industry trend toward higher fill pressures, hence my excitement about upgrading to an affordable and reliable mechanized HPA fill solution which would finally open a door for me to many new air gun options.
Cheers from the moist Gulf Coast of Texas
 
I've had this compressor now for about 6 months. I had a problem! The compressor would shut down before the full fill on the gage. I called AOA to see if they could help. They referred me to Tod DeOrio who told me what could be the problem. Simple fix with a Q-tip. No tear down or anything. just a clogged check valve on the top side of the compressor. Now its running like a top! My only complaint with the Omega Trail Charger is, I really wish it had a hour meter like its big brothers. Keeping records of time used is a real pain. (I lost the first sheet of paper I was keeping time on). I did install a mechanical hour meter on the top and it works great! No more paperwork or using my phone to count run time. Now all I have to do is look at the gage (compressor running or not) and I can tell if I'm close to needing to add grease or a maintenance point. Would have been nice for them to add the gage from the factory.
 
This is what I did. The hour counter is wired direct to the compressor motor so its only on when the unit is compressing air, it also has quick
detach fittings to help with future maintenance. Now I can look at the counter if the compressor is on or off and know that shaking the unit has not added time to it.
